An attractively presented two-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of a purpose-built development, offered chain-free and with over 100 years remaining on the lease. Built in 2016, the flat benefits from a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a bright lounge/diner with Juliette balcony and an emergency alarm system monitored 24/7 — practical features for independent retirees.
The development provides useful communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, buggy store, house manager, lift access and off-street parking with gated entry. Heating is delivered via the development’s air source heat pump; the service charge covers heating, water/sewage and communal services. The apartment sits to the rear of the block away from the road with an open outlook and is a short walk (under 100m from lower floor access) to Waitrose and Caterham station.
Notable costs and community factors are set out plainly: the service charge is £4,972pa, ground rent is £788pa and council tax is above average for the area. The location reports a higher local crime level than typical, and broadband speeds are average. These practical matters should be weighed against the convenience of town-centre living, long lease and included support services.
This property will suit a downsizer seeking low-maintenance, centrally located retirement living with on-site support and good transport links. It also offers potential buyers peace of mind from the modern construction and long lease, balanced against higher running costs.
